It's true. :)

Hi all

Browsing Mike Gunderloy's newsletter I noticed this which I haven't seen
mentioned anywhere else and makes a big difference between the earlier MSDE
and the new SQL Server 2005 Express:

---

One of the nicest things about SQL Server Express is what's been left
out: the query governor from MSDE, which added arbitrary slowdowns when you
had more than five active connections, is gone. This makes SQL Server
Express a much more useful tool. In particular, many database-backed Web
sites should be able to get by with this version of SQL Server and not pay a
dime in licensing fees. The maximum size of databases is also doubled from
MSDE, to 4GB. Maximum memory, however, is halved to 1 GB. Still, the
majority of small and medium sites won't have a problem with this.
